The Space Jump is a highly advanced movement system that gives the Power Suit the ability to continually Spin Jump in the air. The Spin Jump generated by this upgrade is extremely quick. Samus's crouched appearance during these jumps is blurred due to the extreme speed at which she is spinning. Samus can scale any height with this upgrade, and in combination with the Screw Attack, this upgrade becomes a deadly weapon. In the first two games it appears in, the jump button must be tapped rhythmically in order to continually jump, making it hard to lose height while space jumping. In later games though, tapping the jump button any time after the peak of the last jump will result in a Space Jump.

In Metroid: Other M, Samus is still capable of limitlessly jumping in mid-air, but she is unable to gain altitude like she could in the 2D games. However, it does slightly increase Samus' jump height, in that it functions somewhat like the Hi-Jump Boots.

"With this item Samus can jump continuously through the air while spin jumping. Learn how to use this item effectively by hitting the jump button again before she touches the ground and Samus will be able to do a perpetual jump. It may require some practice, but keep trying!"
